WC68 Operator’s Manual
REPLACING THE HYDRAULIC PUMP BELT
Check the condition and tension of the hydraulic pump belt after every 30 hours of operation. If
the infeed roller is not rotating, or it is rotating slowly, the belt could be slipping. A squealing
noise may also be heard. In either case, these conditions can occur due to a worn belt or
improper belt tension (see the previous section,
“Adjusting the Hydraulic Pump Belt Tension.”
)
To replace a worn belt, follow the steps below:
1. If installed, disconnect the PTO shaft from the wood chipper for safety.
2. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen the lower M8 hex nut that secures the eyebolt to the
steel bracket until sufficient tension has been removed from the spring allowing it to be
unhooked from the belt tensioner. The belt tensioner can now be swung up out of the
way allowing for removal of the belt from the pulleys.
3. Install the new belt around the pulleys first and then reinstall the spring. Re-tension the
spring by tightening the lower M8 hex nut on the eyebolt. Refer to the previous section,
“Adjusting the Hydraulic Pump Belt Tension.”
for instructions on how to properly re-
tension the belt.
